So, our old thread got lost & I have bad luck searching threads; so I thought I'd start a new one!

Let's get re-inspired for the new year! Who all's determined to walk at conference???? Let's check in periodically & keep each other motivated & PROMOTE! :chef:

OK, so I have:
2 signed
0 qualified (yet!)
4 more on the fence; 1 is having a show next week so we'll be talking some more
 
I am planning to walk at conference. I have 2 qualified and a few on the fence. My sales Aug-Dec were $2500-$6000 so that was going great and now I only have 1 show this month. I need to really kick things up a notch so I can promote to director and STAY promoted! We can totally do this!
 
I'm with you.

4 Signed
3 Qualified
2 Inactive
Several fence-sitters that I am diligently working with.
 
Can I still join you guys? I would love to walk by conference and am definitely working towards that, but ultimately my goal is to promote this year.

As it stands now I have one recruit that went inactive before qualifying. :(

I thought I had made a commitment to this last year but I think I was a bit overwhelmed with a lot of things in my life. I have things a bit more under control now and am ready to recommit. I am going to go back through all of my receipts and other records to come up with a lead list and make those calls part of my 3-2-1.

Watch out, here we come!!:chef:
 
I'm in!
I only have 2 signed and qualified and about 4 fence-sitters...but June 1st is my goal!

We can do it!
 
I will promote by NOV1. I'm going to work towards promoting earlier though.1 signed and 3 shows toward qualifying
1 signed - submitting her agreement on Monday
1 signed - submitting her agreement by the end of the month4 more on the fenceI need to get my show schedule on track!

Wohoo!!! Great job, you are on a roll!
 
My plans are to join you! 2 qualified (one on Leave), 2 strong potential, 1 fence-sitter. My goal is March. Hoping to get excited at Leadership; most of my sessions are on recruiting & team-building.:chef:
 
I will be on the road too!

3 signed=
1 Kitnapper
1 inactive
1 not quaified yet
Many fence sitters.
 
I've been hesitating to say....I seem to jinx myself every time I do....but here goes:

2 signed - brand new, no shows yet
1 qualified, inactive - probably will go active this month or next, just to qualify for 50% Spring products.:rolleyes:
1 recruit of the inactive recruit - now mine, but doesn't count as my 5 for directorship. (will count to help me stay active once I promote though!)
1 who will be signing the end of this month (I hope)
2 fence sitters......

That's it for me. If I can get them all signed, qualified, and active at the same time, it would be golden!
 
I'm going to do my best to be walking too!

I have 4 signed:
3 qualified: 1 on leave, 1 MIA (haven't talked to her since Thanksgiving and she'll go inactive if she doesn't submit $200 in January) 1 that I'm not sure what she's going to do (hopefully enough to stay active)
1 brand new - first show this Saturday - but she is motivated and already taking the online courses etc.

If I can keep everyone active and get some more I will be in good shape. But I also need to get my show schedule up again - I only have 4 cooking shows this month and two booked for February (not sure if they will hold though) Not good!

Also hoping that Leadership will give me a much needed boost!
 
You guys are doing great! But, I want to join this thread eventhough all I have are fence sitters.... :( I really want to walk at conference and I know I can do it. So, world, here I come!! :D
 
You guys can all do it!! Good luck! :D :D

you'll be ready!! And even for the sneaky ones that don't turn there immediately. I LOVE that it is on the back cover, it makes it easy to spot the ones who think they are playing cool by waiting awhile before taking a peak! Pay especially good attention when people are filling out their order forms, you'll be able to spot'em then!!;) ;)
My bet is that you'll have 3 more signed (atleast) by the end of Feb!;) :D
 
Am I missing something Amy and Becky? What are you talking about? I want in on the business tips!
 
at my shows I mention that the kit is listed on the back cover, then I watch to see who turns there. :chef:

Ahhhhhh....I see. Ha Ha...I just tell everyone to go there and everything they see there is only $155 when they sign up. I will have to try your way to see how sneaky I can be.
 
Yes, and Amy says this is one of the big reasons why she signed 10 (or is it more?) consultants in a very short period of time!
 
I would love some more tips from you Amy! What else can you suggest for us trying to promote by Conference?
 
I am planning on walking this year.

2 recruits qualified
10 warmish leads from last year
 
I'm not naive enough to set my goal as Conference, but I'm aiming for December. And that's a stretch for me anyway, considering that I've only recruited 4 people in 6 years. :rolleyes:

Ann, don't think you'd be naive. You are the one who always pumps everyone else up. You can do it too! And don't look at what you've done in the past, if you put a whole new plan in to action you will get new results!;)

Yeah! We have an awesome group!

Anne, don't feel that way....I've been a consultant for 6 years also, & just signed my first 2 in the past few months! Our businesses can change when we're ready for them to;)

I also would love to hear some tips from you Amy!
 
Count Me in too!!!!I Have to walk at National if Pampered Val does- We vowed when we started (same month) that we would walk together- and she is on FIRE!!!!!
I signed my 5th recruit last month, however-
3 are inactive- 2 active- (one had her 1st show last night, and 1 has been on my team, consistent for 2 years)
I have several fence sitters, as well. I am hoping for an amazing recruiting incentive- I have told all of my fence sitters to expect a call from me after conference.
 
I want to walk at national too!
I have 4 consultants.
2 of them are qualified
I also have a girl who started asking questions yesterday about the business!
 
OK so I have 1 qualified now!!!The one who was supposed to order her kit on Monday backed out on me. :( She said she can order it for FEB1 paycheque...I hope she sticks to that.

Glad someone else posted...I was just going to bump this!
How's everyone doing? Got any leads? Looks like we better get going with recruiting if we want to earn a trip; all the more reason to promote!
My host on the 20th is seriously thinking about it & I've got another gal to get ahold of...
 
I sent an email to my leads last week with important dates (team training, opportunity nights, etc...) and I told them I'd be calling all of them this weekend to follow up. Not sure yet what I'm going to say but I thought it was worth a shot in talking to them. Especially those I haven't spoken to in a long time.
 
I want in this as well!!! I would love to walk at Conference '08! Right now I have:

~1 recruit that signed in June '07, and just submitted her first show (dec 22) on Jan. 4th. I am hoping she will get at least one more show in January.

~1 qualified, active recruit.

I do have a few 2-3 fence sitters. Now that my show schedule has picked up, I will be getting new leads. I will have to watch out for those back page peekers!!!!
